ENTERTAINMENTS

EVERYBODY’S. “MOLLY 0” MATINEE TO-DAY. The biggest comedy drama that has .been flashed on the screen aptly describes “Molly O,” the eight-reel Mack Sennett special, screened last night at Everybody's. Mabel Normand stars in the name part and excels her previous characterisation in “Mickey.” It is a feature comedy equal to anything in the mirth provoking line that has ever been offered to the public. It is a picture of a love story as sweet and pure as anything that has ever been written. It is an emotional dramatic offering that in some scenes transcends the best that has ever been put on the screen, and it is a melodrama in which the villains are confounded, in which the hero licks a villain bare-handed, and which concludes with a thrilling aeroplane chase after a fleeing blimp. Because the action runs from broad comedy to the deepest pathos and from a supper in the tenements to a grand ball in the most fashionable hotel in the city, and because none of the good characters are wholly angels, it is the most human story that has found its way to the screen in many months. “Molly O” will be screened again at a special matinee this afternoon, commencing at 3.30 and for the last occasion to-night. Included on the new programme to-morrow will be a special picture of “Princess Mary’s Wedding.”

THE PEOPLE’S. “FAITH” AND “THE JOLT.” There is a double attraction >at the People’s to-night—“ Faith,” a stirring new Fox photo-play, starring Peggy Hyland and ‘The Jolt,” a comedydrama, starring . Edna Murphy and Johnnie Walker. The story of a fascinating girl and her loyal-hearted love is told in a series of beautiful scenes that hold the attention and stir the hearts of hll who see it in “Faith.” Miss Hyland has a strong supporting cast. That a man “may be down, but is never out,” is interestingly exemplified once more in “The Jolt,'’ with Edna Murphy and Johnnie Walker as costars. The story also furnishes another proof that a good woman’s love is the greatest blessing that can come into any man’s life. Supports include gazettes’ and cartoon. The prices remain as usual.
